We are kayaking to the Steamshovel Slough area of Los Cerritos Wetlands on March 29th. We have a few spots left. What a fun and interesting way to spend a Sunday morning.
| We are delighted to offer a March 29th spring kayaking tour of the Los Cerritos Wetlands, specifically the Steamshovel Slough area. Not only is Steamshovel Slough an amazing area of the Los Cerritos Wetlands, but it is also an example of what much of the wetlands could look like once restored. The cost to kayak with us is $40 (an amazing deal!) to help cover the rental expenses of kayaks, paddles, life vests, and the tour leaders who guide the trips. Tour leaders are experienced kayakers from LA River Expeditions and environmental educator Katy Dressendorfer. We meet at Mother’s Beach at 8:30 AM near the children’s playground. Street and metered parking is available, but it can fill up on weekends, so plan to arrive early to find a spot. Because we subsidize much of the cost of these kayak trips, we need strong attendance to help offset some of the expense. Thus, if you have ever thought about kayaking with us, this is the time to do it. We expect it will be a nice sunny day. We have just a few spots left, so reserve your kayaking experience now. Rules for kayaking: You must be able to swim. You must have the endurance to handle about 2 hours of kayaking (with some breaks). It is recommended that you have experience kayaking, but novice kayakers are welcome. Please wear proper kayaking attire; you will get splashed (no jeans or tennis shoes). If you are a minor (12 – 17 years of age), you are welcome to join us as long as you meet the above requirements and are accompanied by a parent or guardian. Learn more or reserve your kayaking spot via our Eventbrite link. Elizabeth Lambe Executive Director Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust P.S. Check out the photo of a recent kayak trip to Steamshovel Slough. What a lovely area! P.P.S. If you miss your chance to kayak with us this upcoming Sunday, don’t worry, there will be additional kayak trips in late summer/early fall. |
